The Tattooist of Auschwitz, the heart-wrenching love story set in the infamous concentration camp, has been developed into a six-part TV series with a host of famous faces taking on the challenge of bringing this true-story to life.
The original book of the same name, by author Heather Morris, was published in 2017 and became a best-seller, telling the true story of Slovakian Jew Lale Sokolov who was imprisoned at Auschwitz in 1942 and fell in love with a girl he was tattooing at the camp.
Taking on the role of young Lale Sokolov is Jonah Hauer-King, who is best known for playing Prince Eric in the Disney live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Meanwhile, the older version of Lale is being played by Harvey Keitel, most recognisable for his roles in Pulp Fiction in 1994, Reservoir Dogs in 1992 and The Grand Budapest Hotel in 2014.
Polish actress Anna Próchniak plays Gita Furman, the woman Lale falls in love with while tattooing in the camp. You may recognise the actress from her role in 2019 series Baptise where she played Natalie Rose.
Meanwhile, the role of Heather Morris - the author - is taken by actress Melanie Lynskey who has previously starred in The Last Of Us and Young Sheldon.
